Richard Boatwright  My husband and I are ranchers so my horses do a lot of outside riding and then just seasonal inside work like sorting this week which  I will do on my 4/5 yr old.   Because we mainly ranch on our horses I am always looking for things to keep them tuned and challenged. 

Planning on starting my coming two yr old and I am thinking about taking my 4 yr old through it get a better finish in him…..what do you think? 

Merry Christmas 🎄 

hanging with the Wright Family at Vegas during the NFR.....perfect.

It makes total sense.  I feel like sometimes I can get caught up in where I think my horses are supposed to be rather than building them to what they are ready for.   I do have cattle and I feel like cattle are such a good tool to give my young horses a reason for what we have worked on in the arena:)

Thank you for your time!!

Lucas G Truax. Thank you!  I will go Check it out:)

I will try to do some videos of him. I ride/train by myself most the time so I will recruit someone…lol 

Thank you so much

Hi, 

Thank you for responding:). I will go watch Naches and Magnolia!  This colt is bred, Hollywood Dun It, Nic It In The Bud, Shining Spark…..very gentle and processes well.  Not reactive so I am so glad you said maybe not to desensitize  because these colts tend to be pretty quiet anyway. When I start a colt I feel the pressure to do all the “stuff” to desensitize, thanks for taking the pressure off! lol I really appreciate your simple approach to training. 

What are your thoughts on handling a colt that wants to be with the rest of the herd? I mainly have Ranch horses that run together, but I don’t put my young horses in with those horses just because they tend to get picked on. This colt acts a little insecure, and I have kept him separate but i feel like if it’s in them already what are some things to keep it at the best level that you can?
